Abstract

Glass-ceramics containing a large amount of calcium pyrophosphate (β–Ca2P2O7) crystal were prepared via crystallization and sintering; compacts of a calcium phosphate glass powders with a composition of 60CaO · 30P2O5 · 5TiO2 · 5Na2O (in mol%) were heated for 3–6 h at 850 °C in air. The compacts were densified by the viscous flow of the glassy phases during heating. The calcium phosphate glass-ceramics were found to show a bending strength of approximately 100 MPa, and they were easy to machine, as confirmed by a drilling test using a conventional carbide tool. The machinability is thought to arise from the microstructure consisting predominantly of the interlocking and platelike β–Ca2P2O7 precipitated in the glass.
